Get Your Film Fix

It's taken a while, but we've finally reviewed Jonathan Levine's political romantic comedy Long Shot (2:25).  Then, we interview director Andrew Gibson about his new film Gutterbug (25:00) and finally wrap it up with our Top 5 Underdogs (51:30).  

We're going back to 1999!  And a galaxy far, far away this week with George Lucas' dreaded prequel The Phantom Menace!  We take a look at the film's influence and Lucas' return to directing after a 20 year absence.  And then we wrap it all up with our Top 5 Films we're embarrassed we own. 

It's FINALLY here!  We've been waiting for this one for a while, one of our favorites of all time, the Paul Thomas Anderson retrospective.  We count down his 8 amazing films and give out our Fixies for performances, screenplay and cinematography.  It's a long one but a good one.  

Back in time again we go to 1999, possibly the greatest year in cinema history, with Michael Mann's The Insider.  The highly acclaimed and Oscar-nominated film is a favorite for us three, but never have we discussed it in as much detail as we do here.  And for our Top 5 this week (41:30), we list our Top 5 films with two great performances and we vote on the best!

How ironic!  Our discussion of running times in cinema pushed us over the edge on this week's Eyes Wide Shut retrospective.  But here it is, for your listening pleasure.  

We're going back to 1999 again to revisit Stanley Kubrick's final film Eyes Wide Shut featuring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.  We discuss that film's deeper meaning and its reflection on Kubrick's illustrious career.  And finally wrap it all up with our Top 5 Cinematic Long Nights.   

We'd love to hear from you!  Email us at [email protected] and let us know your thoughts on the film, our reviews or suggest a Top 5!

This week's episode is about Us!  No, not the GYFF boys, Jordan Peele's newest film starring Lupita Nyong'o.  We go deep on the film's true meaning and our interpretations.  And finally, wrap it all up with our Top 5 Multiple Performances by an actor in a single film.   

It's been 20 years since the influential and award-winning American Beauty was released and we gathered to discuss Sam Mendes' divisive film.  We move on to a brief chat about the Oscar-winning documentary Free Solo, and finally wrap it all up with our Top 5 roles we'd recast.  

Here's a discussion from a couple weeks ago about Netflix and its role in independent filmmaking.  Enjoy!

The Academy spoke, and we listened!  Finally, the three of us watched 2018's Best Picture Winner Green Book (17:00) directed by Peter Farrelly (or is it Farley?) and we had some thoughts to say the least.  But first, we discuss the importance of the Oscars to us and the film industry.  And our Top 5 this week comes from a listener, who suggested we list our Top 5 Critically Successful Films we believe are overrated (39:40).
